Menopause is the consequence of a decrease in the stock of ovarian follicles that leads to hormonal imbalances. According to WHO, it has been characterized by a menstruation cessation (amenorrhea) for more than 12 months.
Perimenopause (or premenopause) is the transition from the period of "normal" ovarian activity to menopause. For WHO, it "begins when clinical and / or biological signs occur that announce the onset of menopause" and therefore ends a year, at least, after the last menstrual period. The average duration of perimenopause would be 4 years with very large differences from one woman to another.
An irregular menstrual cycle will often be the first sign of perimenopause. Other early signs of menopause include: heat, asthenia, mood disorders, vaginal dryness, urinary function disorders, weight gain, sleep disorders.
